It is a disgrace that Bharat Ratna awards are being politicised. A good example is the change of award rules to give the award to Sachin Tendulkar. Controversies surrrounding Bharat Ratna awards to Nehru and IndiraG are well-known.
Bharat Ratna awardee should be one who is an exemplar of Dharma, the inexorable, inviolate ethic.
Here is a report on a true Bharat Ratna; there are thousand more dharmatma-s like Shri Kalyanasundaram:
Mr.Kalayanasundaram worked as a Librarian for 30 years. Every month in his 30 year experience(service), he donated his entire salary to help the needy. He worked as a server in a hotel to meet his needs. He donated even his pension amount of about TEN(10) Lakh rupees to the needy.
He is the first person in the world to spend the entire earnings for a social cause. In recognition to his service, (UNO)United Nations Organization adjudged him as one of the Outstanding People of the 20th Century.. An American organization honored him with the ‘Man of the Millennium’ award. He received a sum of Rs 30 cores as part of this award which he distributed entirely for the needy as usual.
Moved by his passion to help others, Super Star Rajinikanth adopted him as his father. He still stays as a bachelor and dedicated his entire life for serving the society.
UNO has honored him but most Indians don’t even know that such a personality exist amongst us.
